Method and apparatus for integrating remote print-on-demand services into a local printer driver |
摘要 |
A printer driver integrates local and remote printing. A computer is coupled to a local printer. The computer also has access via a network connection to one or more remote printers or printing services. The computer may access the remote printers via the Internet or other wide area network. Using the printer driver, a user can send print jobs either to the local printer or a remote printer. Preferably, the coordination of the local and remote printing capabilities of the computer and printer driver is transparent to the user. That is, the user can initiate a print job from any authoring application (e.g., word processor) and have that print job sent either to the local or remote printer via a common user interface provided by the printer driver.
